“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
My in-coming guests are my traveller-in-crime and DB. Dangerous Brian! Brave souls to keep coming back here in the winter to my ffff-freezing house. But – OMGladioli —- we have a laugh. Then another. Then we cry with laughter. Does that mean that we are all natural born comedians? P.S. My last phone convo with […]

There was always one restaurant in Dubai that we ALL agreed on when planning an evening out. It was a Lebanese Restaurant right beside the Dubai Fountains. MEZZE at its best. With a side platter of meat dishes :o) If I remember rightly (?) the fountains didn’t start singing and dancing until about 9pm…after we […]

There are a few reasons why I’m fond of Caroline Quentin, of which I have talked before. This is my favouritist (?) show of hers. The pics above and below (along with winter spider webs) are of OUR Restoration of the Pig Sty. It took a year and a £ or many. OMG. We have […]

I’ve NO control. I’m drugged up to the eyeballs on painkillers. Sleep Deprived. OK. The quote here about going back to Blighty. I have NO IDEA what it’s from but all I’m seeing is ICE COLD IN ALEX. A classic film. John Mills. Sylvia Syms. The last scene when they get through Africa and reach […]

When we converted the old pigsty into a BAR/ManCave/Party Room. About once a month, the kids (in their late teens, early 20’s) would be invited for PARTY Sesh. I love and adore my boys’ friends and their girlfriends. On a Sunday morning I’d get up after hearing the stereo system being cranked up to MAXVOL […]

There is a word for this kind of thing but it escapes me. It means a joke within a joke with a QI. And a Danse Macabre. As you may know – I’m a #fan of both JC and the actor/comedian AD. This scene cracks me up every time :o) Anyway – guess what I’ll […]

And these are the retard peeps that I went to school with. From the F1RST year to the Lower 6th, we did our own thing. And the teachers NEVER expelled a single one of us because – in those days – they encouraged FREEDOM of THOUGHT & EXPRESSION. I was summoned to the Headmaster’s Office […]
